Lawsuits are about money. What, exactly, have you lost financially? You'd have a hard "row to hoe" attempting to prove that you need to be financially compensated for pitching in to do yard work, feeling picked upon, etc.. Far better to be able to present "hard evidence" to a court on...

Since you've not provided detailed information on what damages have been done to your private property, what items you've lent that have not been returned or thrown out and what supplies you've been hit up to buy, it's impossible for us to provide information as to whether a lawsuit would be...

A tenants options if a landlord fails to make repairs (i.e., the frig): http://www.tenant.net/Other_Areas/Minnesota/hb2.html What type of lease do you have? Yearly? Monthly? If a month to month tenancy, it's fairly easy to terminate this by either party and find another place to live...

Is this an assisted living/residential care type setting or simply a rental situation? Gail

army judge is quite correct. At the most, the threat of a lawsuit negatively affecting the parents credit rating MAY stimulate payment to avoid this. I once co-signed on a lease for my oldest son; his father (my ex) asked me to do this because, while he made several times my salary, he was...

You could certainly file a lawsuit for owed rent against the student and mom as the guarantor for the owed rent without going through the process of trying to evict him. This would be handled through Small Claims: http://www.nycourts.gov/COURTHELP/qa_civillaw.html Gail

Laws vary from country to country (and state to state) but I'd imagine if you notified your landlord that unless you receive all of this money back you'll be reporting the presence of cocaine to the local law enforcement he's likely to return these funds and call it a wash. Gail

In addition, have you discussed the condition of your ceiling with your Section 8 caseworker? I can't imagine a rental unit passing Section 8 inspection with such a ceiling. Gail

The attached may help you with your decision on whether you should move. It reviews breaking a lease in New Jersey because of bad conditions. If you decide to do this, make sure you have adquate documentation should the landlord turn around and sue you for owed rent...

Section 250.512 (e) of the law does state that "failure of the tenant to provide the landlord with his new address in writing upon termination of the lease or upon surrender and acceptance of the leasehold premises shall relieve the landlord from any liabilities under this section". In other...

Attached in the specific Pennsylvania law that addresses security deposits, including their return: http://www.thelpa.com/lpa/landlord-tenant-law/pennsylvania-security-deposit-law.html Both owed rent and damages above normal wear and tear can be deducted from the security deposit. Nothing...

You would be better set to understand the security deposit requirements for Pennsylvania (Army Judge included this in a previous email). It is clearly stated what you can (and cannot) use the security deposit for. It doesn't matter what you put in your lease; if it goes against state law...

That is correct. Noise is not damage; if neither the pet nor extra person living there did actual damage, the security deposit cannot be used for these issues. If this has been a year lease and she left early (even after notifying you of her intention to do this), she would still owe for the...

Yes. If she doesn't, the security deposit can be used for owed rent. However, remember that even if it is used for owed rent, you must notify this tenant of the status of her security deposit within the required time frame. Gail

A month to month tenancy typically requires a 30 day written notice by either party (the tenant/the landlord) to terminate such a lease. Your tenant would owe rent for the 30 days from the date she gave you this notice. A security deposit cannot simply be kept because she violated the terms...

Yes, although in most cases one check is sent and it's left up to the former tenants to battle out who gets what. Personally, I'd ask management to send proof that the ex-boyfriend was sent his share of the deposit. I'm not sure I'd believe anything that the ex-boyfriend said. If half the...

The OP might want to bone up on what an illegal eviction is: http://www.tenant.net/Rights/illevict/illevict.html Gail

Yes, there's always a possibility. Quite honestly, one can pretty much be sued for anything. However, you would have an excellent argument to present to the court that you feared for the safety of your family and were forced to move and could not wait until the eviction actually went through...

There is not going to be a "law" to cover everything. I doubt you'll find such a law allowing you this "right" in Maryland. Gail

You are correct; no one can evict you without a court order granting such. However, unless you again forgot to post useful information, you were not evicted. You were told to leave and you did. This is not an eviction. Gail
